Chapter 7: Fight Night

Well, it was time.

Sally was making her last minute preparations. Tony was cracking his knuckles.

"Hey Sally," Tony asked. "What's that on your arm?"

He pointed to her wrist. She stared at him for a moment then rolled up her sleeve revealing a pentagram with a circle all around it.

"What this old thing," she scoffed. "This…is The West End Girls symbol, we all got it carved into us!"

Tony grimaced. It sure was ugly.

"Which is why," she smiled and said confidentially. "You're getting one right now!"

"What," Tony exclaimed. "You're insane!"

"Listen," Sally replied sternly. "If your gonna fight for us, you have to look authentic, Myra will know something's up if you don't have one of these symbols!"

"Ok," Tony said finally giving in. "Fine…"

Sally walked over to him and sat down. She pulled out her pocket knife and rubbed it against her callused fingers. Tony lifted up his sleeve revealing his clean wrist. She began to carve.

"Ah!" Tony cried and grimaced in pain.

"Oh hold on yah big baby," Sally replied. "I'm almost done!"

She put on the finishing touches with the circle.

"There," she said, recutting open her symbol. "Now touch your wrist to mine and we will be bloodsisters…er bloodbrother and sister!"

Tony did as he was told and yet again grimaced as he felt the fresh blood of his and Sally's fall down his wrist like a thousand waterfalls. They pulled apart and Sally stood up.

"Now," she said. "You need to change those clothes; this is a Gang Bang not a backyard BBQ!"

Tony then suddenly remembered that he was wearing the NIS T-Shirt! He had hoped she hadn't noticed, but from the looks of it she hadn't. She showed Tony to behind a dumpster where he could change. He pulled out his oldest rattiest T-Shirt, his baggy holy jeans, and his old cruddy sneakers.

"You got a girlfriend?" Sally asked.

"Um," Tony replied not sure how to respond. "No, why!"

"Geez," she laughed. "Calm down big boy, I meant cuz you got a nice body, you sure?"

"Ha Ha," he replied. "Nope, but...Well…I do have my eye on someone, now can't a guy have some privacy?"

"Sure," Sally replied sarcastically. "Whatever you say!"

"Alright smartass!" he replied with a laugh.

Moments later he was reviewing last minute plans with Sally, her fellow gang members had now arrived.

"Well hello ladies," she said with a smile. "This is Tony, he will be fighting along with us tonight, say hello!"

"Hey ladies," Tony replied. "Let's do this!"

They were off! Sally in front Tony right behind her to the left, her lead girl Sarah to her right, and the others following close behind forming a pyramid. Tony thought about how right about now "Eye of The Tiger" would be playing as they walked if they were in a movie, but they weren't. This was real and he had to put his game face on. He had phoned Gibbs before hand to tell him that the mission would probably be over by morning and to arrive tonight to be safe. This bang would probably last all night. Myra had all boys on her side and well, according to Sally, Tony was now a "blessing".

They walked with confidence into the alley where the whole thing was being held. He spotted all the guys immediately, sitting on boxes, and twirling knives in their bare hands, talking. He then spotted what had to be Myra, the only girl, with the biggest, sneakiest looking smile ever on her face.

"Well well Sally," she smirked. "We meet again!"

"Save it Myra," she spat back. "Let's just get this over with!"

"Ooo," Myra replied standing up and looking at her fellow bangers side to side. "Someone's feisty…well boys you know what to do!"

With that the battle had begun. Fists had already gone flying, knives were being avoided, and Tony thought Michael Jackson's "Beat It" should've been playing by now, if in fact they were in a movie. Tony watched in horror as blood was already being spilled from people's bodies. He watched as Sally punched and kicked her way towards a fighting Myra, she was very skilled; each person she faced went down. Tony was busy working on one guy right now and was winning.

"So you're the new guy huh," the guy said with an obvious mobster accent type thing he was trying to pull off. "This'll be easy!"

He took the first punch that Tony easily avoided. Tony waited to fight back, but when he did, he packed a wallop. The guy went flying to the pavement with a thud.

"Hey buddy got some advice for yah," Tony replied with a smile. "Nothing is ever easy!"

Tony patted him on the head and ran away to help Sally.

Sally had managed to take down at least half of the guys on Myra's side. She was currently working on one guy known as Greg. He was Myra's best fighter and was certainly living up to that title right now! Watching them fighting was like listening to Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole" as all the guys and girls joined together to form a circle around their two fearless, fighting, leaders.

"You are dead, Myra St. Clair," Sally said with all the bitterness a person could have. "I am taking you down…NOW!"

"Yeah right sister," she replied with a laugh, her fist ready to take a swing. "You wish you could take me down, but you can't, I will always be stronger than you!"

By now Sally was furious! She swung at Myra with all her strength, knocking her head in the other direction, but Myra did not fall, not like the blood now dripping from her mouth. Myra took one swing at Sally that Sally carefully avoided. Sally swung back hitting Myra clear in the eye. Sally's West End Girls screamed bloody murder as they watched Myra fall down hard to the concrete. Sally waving and yelling victory with her arms raised in a V.

Tony could unfortunately see otherwise. Myra had now drawn a knife and started to pull herself up. The other gang members of both gangs did not see this, for they were too engrossed in Sally's "win" and her victory cry. Tony began to run towards Sally. Just as Myra was about to stab Sally's back Tony pushed Sally out of the way to the pavement and took Myra's stab. He fell on his stomach to the ground and his eyes closed slowly.

Sally was at a loss for words as she stood behind Myra staring at the fallen Tony. Myra walked over to Tony's pocket and pulled out his wallet and threw it against the ground so it opened in front of Sally. His NCIS ID showed. Sally gasped.

"You see Sally," Myra smirked. "Your little boyfriend is an imposter, he's a cop, and the second he got the chance he probably told his boss all about you, why…I bet they're coming for you right now?"

Sally stared at Tony on the ground. His eyes were now open and a wink formed in one of them. He then jumped up and stabbed Myra where she stood. She fell to the ground in a lifeless heap and blood spilled out of her open wound. She was defeated.

"Well," he screamed at her gang members. "What the hell are you all staring at, get rid of her body…NOW, or I WILL call my boss and have you all arrested!"

They all quickly did as they were told and dispersed. Tony turned to face Sally and grasped her arm.

"Sally I," he said. "I'm sorry…"

"No," she said shaking her head and backing up. "Save it Tony…if that even is your real name…save it and leave me alone."

And with that, she ran off.
